I'm not reading anything else in this thread. because i've just bought the blu ray and i'm on ep 2. so far i wouldn not agree its 'a peice of shit'. i thought the first ep was good, and the second episode was okay. to be honest i'm finding it difficult to follow with all the characters, and they throw you in at the deep end right at the beginning, so its difficult what to make of it.
the main reason i got it is because i've heard some people say the writing is better than Spartacus (which i can believe since its based on a popular book series); and the writing in Spartacus is phenominal, so i think it will all make sense by season's end.
personally i've heard only great things and i expect it will get much better. i'm definity going to give it a chance.
